This sonata really shows how Mozart could compose great music for different skill levels, not just top-tier musicians. The violin part is intentionally simpler, and yet just as genius as anything else he's written.
Hearing this makes me happy and sad at the same time. Before this whole quarantine crisis, I was going to perform this (with a partner) for the school, but we didn't get to. Wonderful piece of music, but it makes me a bit sad to think that I won't be able to play it for an audience this year.
It is a great piece. I performed it as part of my senior recital in 2018. It is a charming, fun piece to perform as the pianist. Have you gotten the opportunity to perform it yet? hopefully with an audience.
According to Alfred Einstein, the theme of the Andante sostenuto comes from an ariette "Dolci aurette" of Johann Christian Bach. Unfortunately, it seems that this ariette was not recorded on disc.
@bartjebartmans Thank you very much Bartje for your good work spreading joy and love of life which exudes from music of Mozart. Reading the score makes the experience that much more immersive and lively especially if one decides to join in and accompany with another instrument. Would it be possible for you to update downloadable options (for these later sonatas) by adding the higher definition MP4 720? I think it would help significantly people like myself with not such good eyesight, not as fluent in sight-reading, and needing to download the score for use offline.
Thank you for your feedback. I don't know how to add higher definition MP4 short of re-doing those videos, but as they are of an older date I don't have the drafts anymore.
@@bartjebartmans Thanks Bartje for considering it. I personally do not know anything about the system to tell you how to do it, but I have seen it done by others and they did not have to redo the whole post, lose comments, etc. So I wonder if you could just apply the right options (including the higher definition ones). You probably will still need the original video you made to apply the options to it to replace the current one - hopefully without any other changes to the page / post. Maybe someone else who has done it before or knows more reads this comment and can help. Otherwise, does RU-vid have a help option in this regard?
true, but mozart's mature violin sonatas also appears as a 'duo opera' :) Mozart's concept was rarely based on 'an instrument supporting the other'. And the second movement of this masterpiece shows this. We should not be influenced by the title 'violin sonata', Mozart wrote Sonatas, just, this one, played by violin and piano : )
That is true of all chamber music that has piano. Mozart's titled these "Sonaten für Klavier und Violine" not violin sonata. The instrumentalist's part isn't easy, but the piano always has the more challenging literature.
@@thelonious76 I think that chamber duets like this are title by instruments name due to it being a shorter in name and to distinguish it from a piano sonata. The presence of the piano is implied in "violin, flute, etc sonata" and by no means to place emphasis on the instrumentalist.
It is you, definitely. It all depends which sheet music they are using. Most dynamics were added later by editors, but it is very well possible they use their own interpretation of the dynamics which is perfectly cool with me as they are Szeryng and Haebler. They stand far above any criticism.
